New daily breakdown identifies three intervention dates
Japan’s finance ministry released figures on November 9 showing yen purchases of ¥7.9756 trillion on July 30, ¥5.5523 trillion on July 31 and ¥1.8714 trillion on August 3, funded by dollar sales. Reuters identifies July 30 as Japan’s largest single-day yen-buying intervention in ministry records dating back to 1991. The ¥15.3993 trillion total was already disclosed on August 28; the new release supplies the daily amounts and dates. Calculated from those figures, July 30 accounted for 51.8% of the total. The disclosure details earlier operations rather than announcing new intervention.
